Självpresentation, klass och genus på dejtingapplikationen Tinder : En kulturanalytisk studie / Self-presentation, class and gender on the dating application TinderLiliequist, Christian January 2015 (has links)
The aim of this paper is to make a cultural analysis of how young Swedes present themselves and review other’s presentations on the dating application Tinder. I have interviewed seven people between the age of 20 and 34 with experiences from using Tinder and/or other dating applications and websites. Characteristic for my informants is that they have a completed or ongoing higher education, that they call themselves feminists and have leftist political views. These common characteristics have influenced my results, which I have pointed out in my analysis. I have done a thematic analysis, which means that I have highlighted interesting themes brought up by the informants during the interviews. These have been further analyzed from the theoretical concepts of self-presentation, gender and social class. In addition to the interviews, I have conducted a self-reflective analysis of how I present myself and judge other people's profiles on Tinder. Since I am a young university student and consider myself to be a feminist with leftist valuations, it could be expected that I have similar preferences and ways of interpreting other people's Tinder profiles as my informants. As the results show, my informants have more or less deliberately used different strategies to control what kind of impression their profile visitors get of them. Most of the informants express a strong political awareness and believe that it is important that their dating partner have similar values as themselves. They often make judgments of which values other people have based on what kind of clothing style, poses and gestures they present themselves with on Tinder. But even though my informants seem to have very clear criteria for what kind of persons they want to date, some of them also express a curiosity about meeting people with values, styles and tastes that differs from their own. One of my informants had different experiences from Tinder than the others, since she was the only one who used the dating application to meet persons of the same sex. How LGBTQ people experience Tinder is a subject that would be interesting to do some further research on.

Taking Goffman on a Tour of Facebook: College Students and the Presentation of Self in a Mediated Digital EnvironmentBirnbaum, Matthew Gardner January 2008 (has links)
This study explores how college students present themselves on Facebook, a social networking website, and the impressions they want their fellow students to form of them when looking at their profiles. Goffman's dramaturgical and impression management framework served as a theoretical lens through which Facebook profiles were explored. Employing an ethnographic research design, data for this study were collected during eight-months of participant observation, 30 photo-elicitation interviews, and a photographic content analysis.Facebook has been rapidly adopted by undergraduate students who use it to maintain existing relationships and also as a medium in which to present themselves, especially through photographs. This study provides college administrators and student affairs professional some information about how undergraduates use Facebook and how Facebook can assist them in better understanding their institution's own student culture.Because photographs are instrumental to Facebook use, this study focused on the many images students place on their profiles. The use of photographs in social research is limited and it is hoped that this study will lay the ground work for further use of visual methods. This study found that college students believe that other college students are the primary audience for their profiles. Also, college students use six general "fronts" that lead audience members to see them as: (1) partier, (2) social, (3) adventurous/risk-taker, (4) humorous/funny/silly, (5) part of larger community, and (6) unique. Taken together, these fronts represent an "idealized" undergraduate. Students use props, settings, and gesture to provide their audience members visual cues to help them form the desired impressions. Much of the material that students place on Facebook is meant to be humorous or only understood by a small group of friends. Also, students only show a "narrow strip of activity" in their profiles.

The manifestations of perfectionistic self-presentation in a clinical sampleHabke, Amy Marie 11 1900 (has links)
Perfectionism has long been recognized as an important personality trait that has a significant
impact on emotional and social well-being. More recently, it has been recognized that there is a
stylistic aspect to perfectionism that focuses on a desire to appear perfect. This perfectionistic
self-presentation, and in particular, the desire for concealment of imperfections, has been related
to psychopathology in past research. However, it is proposed that perfectionistic self-presentation
presents a particular concern from a clinical perspective because of it's indirect
effects on pathology; a desire to conceal imperfections is especially problematic to the extent that
it impacts the experience of therapy and the therapy relationship. The current study examined the
cognitive, affective/physiological, and behavioral manifestations of perfectionistic self-presentation
in a clinical sample. Ninety clinical subjects completed self-report measures of
perfectionistic self-presentation, trait perfectionism, impression management, mood, appraisals,
and self-handicapping. A brief structured assessment interview that included a discussion of past
mistakes, was conducted by trained clinical interviewers. Physiological monitors recorded heart
rate and skin conductance level throughout the interview, and the interview was videotaped.
Post-interview measures of mood, appraisals, and self-handicapping, were also completed.
Results at the bivariate level showed that the self-protective dimensions of perfectionistic self-presentation
were associated with more distress both prior to and following the interview, higher
heart rate and greater change in heart rate when discussing mistakes (and greater skin
conductance for men), greater claims of disability from self-handicaps, and appraisals of the
interviewer as both threatening (wanting more than the participant could provide) and
disappointed following the interview. Regression analyses showed that the desire to avoid
disclosing imperfections was a unique predictor of appraisals of threat over and above
demographics, trait perfectionism, and other measures of distress (interaction anxiety and
depression) and impression management, and of appraisals of the interviewer as disappointed
following the interview, over and above demographics and trait perfectionism. The block change
score for perfectionistic self-presentation predicting interviewer satisfaction was marginally
significant over and above emotional distress and impression managment. The desire to avoid
displaying imperfections was a unique predictor of lower threat appraisals. Perfectionistic self-presentation
also predicted higher heart rate when discussing errors, over and above
demographics and other measures of distress and impression management, and greater change in
heart rate from relaxation; this relation held when controlling for demographics, trait
perfectionism, and emotional distress and impression management. Perfectionistic self-presentation
did not predict defensive behaviors and was not a unique predictor of self-reported
negative affect. The results are discussed in terms of the implications for therapy and the
therapeutic alliance.

'Just Act Naturally': A Poetics of Documentary PerformanceMarquis, Elizabeth 17 January 2012 (has links)
This dissertation formulates a poetics of performance in nonfiction film and television. Building on a large body of converging research that calls for an acknowledgment of: the constructedness of documentary texts; the performative nature of identity; and the significance of screen performance, I illustrate the way in which documentary subjects must finally be seen as creative agents who (consciously or not) play a significant role in determining the meanings, functions, and effects of the films in which they appear.
A first chapter lays the groundwork for this discussion, setting out a means of understanding and investigating the documentary performer’s work. It is argued that nonfiction performance is a three-tiered process, wherein everyday performative activity (tier #1) is shaped by and often tailored to the camera (tier #2) within specific nonfiction film frameworks (tier #3). In addition to providing a flexible and generally applicable model of what the nonfiction subject’s work entails, this conceptualization suggests an appropriate means of analysing individual documentary performances, indicating the necessity of attending to the way in which twice modified everyday self-presentational tools serve as signifiers in any given nonfiction text.
Subsequent chapters turn from the issue of what nonfiction performance involves to a consideration of what it accomplishes. Drawing from scholarship devoted to each of the three levels of the documentary ‘social actor’s’ work, I posit three major functions for nonfiction performance. Chapter 2 demonstrates the way in which the individuals who appear in documentaries play a significant role in the construction of ‘characters’, which, in turn, exert an indelible influence on the meaning(s) of the texts in which they figure. Chapter 3 argues that nonfiction performance helps to bolster and/or to destabilize normative understandings of identity categories such as gender, sexuality, age, ethnicity, race, class and dis/ability. Finally, the concluding chapter discusses the way in which documentary performers help to invite affective reactions from spectators, and – in so doing – contribute significantly to nonfiction texts’ ability to effectuate social change. Detailed analyses of a wide range of documentaries provide support for these contentions.

Skryter bäst som skryter tyst! : Impression managements förlust, meriters vinst i CV.Blomberg, Helena, Karlsson, Sara January 2015 (has links)
Impression management (IM) handlar om enmedveten eller omedveten process att styra intrycken av sig själv som ges tillomgivningen i syfte att imponera och söka erkännande. Tidigare forskning har istor utsträckning berört anställningsrekommendation utifrån intervjuer och demest framgångsrika resultaten har visat sig vara självförbättrande IM taktik.Studiens syfte vara att undersöka hur självförbättrande IM taktik i personligtbrev, två kvalitéer av meriter, påverkar ett beslut omanställningsrekommendation, samt undersöka hur en uppsättning personliga egenskaperrelaterar till självförbättrande IM taktik. Deltagarna var studenter, 57kvinnor och 32 män. Studien var experimentell 2 x 2 x 2 mellangruppsdesign. Deviktigaste fynden var att, högre kvalité av meriter innebar högre skattning avanställningsrekommendation samt att högre skattning av egenskaper vidsjälvförbättrande IM taktik skattats. Meriters kvalité visades viktig,egenskaper visade samband med IM dock satte IM trovärdighet på spel.Könsskillnader påträffades även och vidare forskning förslås göras mellankönen.

Narcissism and self-enhancement: Self-presentation, affect, and the moderating role of contingencies of self-worth.Collins, David Russell, David.Collins2@mh.org.au January 2006 (has links)
Narcissists typically present themselves in self-enhancing ways to gain validation (through positive social appraisals) of grandiose, yet uncertain self-views. Using e-mail, Studies 1 and 2 investigated several intra- and interpersonal variables that may influence narcissists� self-presentational behaviour. University students rated themselves on self domains requiring either external validation (e.g., attractiveness) or internal validation (e.g., morality), after being randomly assigned to be either accountable or non-accountable to an evaluative audience for their self-ratings (Study 1), to present their self-ratings to either a single or multiple person evaluative audience (Study 2), and to expect to present their self-ratings to either a high or low status evaluative audience (Studies 1 and 2). Results suggested that when degree of external self-worth contingency (Crocker & Wolfe, 2001) was high, narcissists were insensitive to strategic self-presentational requirements, presenting themselves in a typically self-enhancing manner on external domains when accountable and when presenting to a multiple person audience. Non-narcissists showed more contextual sensitivity when degree of external self-worth contingency was high, and were more modest when these social contextual variables were present. Participants in Study 3 were given bogus positive or negative personality feedback on either their moral virtue or competitive spirit. Narcissists reported greater anger after receiving negative feedback, while also responding to negative feedback with inflated self-presentations. A key finding was that the combination of a high degree of self-worth contingency and negative feedback resulted in increases in self-reported depression and drops in state self-esteem in narcissists. Results suggest that narcissists are chronically vigilant for self-enhancement opportunities, but may be insensitive to social constraints and norms in their efforts to construct their grandiose identities. Narcissists are especially vigilant for self-enhancement opportunities on contingent domains, yet when negative feedback is received in these domains where self-worth is staked, depression and lowered self-esteem may result.
